The Maputo store will be approximately 3,000 square metres and the company plans to open a further three stores before the end of 2011. The first four stores will all be located in the greater Maputo district.
The company plans to “ensure that local farmers and suppliers are supported to stimulate and assist economic growth in Mozambique”, added Langman.
Pick n Pay said the expansion into Mozambique follows its entry into Zambia in July.
